Nathan glanced at his wristwatch.
He was certain that Lucinda and Sonny were not done with the investigation.
With a stern expression, he rose abruptly from his desk and exited his office. He then drove to the Shaws house.
Meanwhile, the soldiers, with feigned searches, took care not to damage any furniture inside the villa.
Sir! A soldier emerged from the villa and respectfully bowed to Sonny.
Have you found anything? inquired Sonny.
The top floor is locked, and we cant gain access, he reported.

Sonny cast a glance at the butler beside him. He appeared flustered and said, Absolutely not! The top floor is where our madam resides.
Shes resting at the moment, and it would be improper to disturb her.
Moreover, its highly improbable that the earrings are on the top floor.
Assertively, he continued, No one is allowed access, not even Miss Shaw. Its inconceivable that she would conceal anything there. If Mr. Shaw returns and discovers that the top floor has been searched, hell be furious! He holds the position of deputy director at the National Security Bureau. Are you not concerned about the repercussions of conducting such a search in his house?
Sonny exchanged an embarrassed glance with Lucinda, who was rendered speechless by the butlers unyielding stance.
Then another soldier hurried over and whispered in her ear, Madam, shes not in her room.
If Noelle wasnt in the room, it meant she must be on the top floor.
Lucinda gazed sternly at the butler and declared firmly, My earrings are unique and worth hundreds of millions. If Sally has truly taken them, shell face criminal charges. If you want to prove her innocence, step aside.

Sonny added, Were acting under orders from the National Security Bureau. If you obstruct us, youll be charged for that.
Their sudden desire to arrest him left the butler bewildered.
The bodyguard had tried to call Mekhi, but received no response.
The uncertainty of Mekhis return weighed heavily on his mind.
He was terrified at the thought of going to jail.
His fear grew, and the butler had no choice but to concede.
Alright, Ill unlock the door for you.
Lucinda and Sonny exchanged glances and followed him upstairs.
As they reached the top floor, the butler brought out the key, hesitating as he considered the secrets beyond the door. His trembling hand betrayed his apprehension.
